Traditional parade that unites the whole of Arles
The night parade, illuminated by hundreds of torches, ends at the antique Theatre. Most of the participants wear traditional Provençal costumes.
The celebration is documented since 1830, but it is very likely older. The parade is accompanied by singing and music.
